Ansteys Hill

Tourism Blurb: Anstey Hill Recreation Park is a 362-hectare protected area established in 1989 and located approximately 19 kilometres northeast of Adelaide, South Australia. The park is a significant reserve of bushland in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges and is home to rare or vulnerable native plants and animals, and problematic invasive species. It is managed by the City of Tea Tree Gully, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources and a volunteer group—The Friends of Anstey Hill. The park is designed for recreational walking and has no visitor facilities. It is managed in association with the regional planning initiative known as of Yurrebilla, the Greater Mount Lofty Parklands.

My Assessment: The Track most travelled, located 5 - 10 minutes from where I live. I can walk between 4.5km - 12km without going over the same ground and this Park is Dog friendly. As you can see in the picture most of the tracks in this park are 10 - 12 foot fire tracks, there are a number of step hills to climb with some great views of the City as a reward for effort. One of the steeper hills is aptly named Torture hill and we have named the next hill along Little Torture. You are not going to get wet here unless it rains.
